Since the AOL hit counter wouldn't work, Mom added a hit counter that would. She used one from "Stat Counter" and it shows us where in the world our visitors are from:
We had fun looking at the different places around the world. Thank you for visiting with us and making our corn adventure more fun!
Mom said that at one time, in various parts around the world, the word "corn" was used to describe a location or building that was holding the largest harvest of the season. It didn't matter what the crop being stored was, it could have been something like wheat, it was still called corn. Then, when people started growing maize here in America, they built buildings to hold the maize harvests. That's when the name "corn" stuck. Today the buildings that hold the corn here in Amercia are called "Corn Cribs."
If you google the name "Corn Cribs" and click onto images, you'll see lots of different ones.
